Abstract

A case of coccidiosis in a young, red male squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris L.) has been described in this report. The squirrel was found dead and presented to the department of pathology for necropsy. A traumatic lesion was observed on the face that could have caused death. At necropsy the large and small intestines were swollen due to fluid and gas. During the examination of gut content numerous coccidia oocysts were observed. After sporulation, the oocysts were identified as those of Eimeria lancasterensis. In the histopathological examination numerous coccidia developmental stages were observed in the epithelium of small intestine. This is the first report of Eimeria lancasterensis identification in squirrels in Turkey.

Özet

Bu raporda erkek bir kızıl sincapta (Sciurus vulgaris L.) saptanan koksidiyoz olgusu sunuldu. Sincap ölü olarak bulunarak nekropsi için patoloji laboratuarına getirildi. Hayvanın yüz kısmında ölüme sebep olan travmatik bir lezyon saptandı. Nekropside ince ve kalın bağırsakların gaz ve sıvı ile şişkin olduğu gözlendi. Bağırsak içeriğinin incelenmesinde çok sayıda koksidiya oosistlerine rastlandı. Sporulasyondan sonra oosistlerin Eimeria lancasterensis oosistleri olduğu saptandı. Histopatolojik incelemede bağırsak epitelleri içerisinde çok sayıda koksidiya gelişim devrelerine rastlandı. Bu Türkiye'de sincaplarda rastlanan ilk Eimeria lancasterensis raporudur.
